Chapter 513

November 16, 1785, sunny.

Pierce painted on the deck like mud, basking in the sun, and his eyebrows were filled with layers of capital letters [wretched].

Miami auction night ended successfully, and Lorraine's bundle marketing was a great success.

The total turnover on the night of the auction was more than 840000 pounds. Among them, an order for a second-generation God class ship with lifelong free maintenance won the ship king of the night at a transaction price of 43700 pounds, and a six storey building and two exclusive berths in the Newport area of Miami Beach won the land king at a high price of 13000 pounds.

After the auction night, Carmen successively released more than 20 high-quality plots and ancillary buildings within 15 days. Miami Beach phase II Newport was announced to be completed on November 5, and phase III port area planning was released on November 7.

Lorraine was not idle.

On November 10, he and the Florida governor's Office jointly held a press conference in Miami municipal garden and announced that the governor's office would hold the foundation laying ceremony of coastal defense camp on Virginia island after new year's day in 1786 with the full support of Drake chamber of Commerce.

The garrison fortress in Biscay Bay will be officially started after the foundation is laid. Sir tutsela solemnly promises that the governor's office will complete the deployment of all coastal forts within one year to fully guard the navigation safety of Biscay Bay.

The following favorable conditions continue to stimulate the land price in Miami. Only from October 15 to November 15, its land price increased by 160%.

Compared with the cost invested by Lorraine in land purchase and development, the highest premium in Miami has reached 47 times, and the average premium has exceeded 16 times.

She has become the new favorite of America. The whole new continent is pursuing her prospects and vitality. The tide of business travel converges towards the broad and calm bay of Biscay.

At such a time, however, a fleet left the anchor port dejectedly and went out against the current, that is, the pierce special service formation that just won the confrontation drill

This is a sad story.

In a drill with the ship as the protagonist and the main purpose of showing the performance of the gunboat, pierce turned the tide with his world-class shooting skills and forcibly reversed the final victory and defeat with his own strength.

No one thinks there's anything wrong with pierce doing this.

Leaving aside Pierce's personal achievements, the performance of the secret service formation in this war is indeed far from the new first formation.

Lorraine's summary during the post-war review may be the most pertinent. He said that the secret service formation had two shining points. One was the surprise change, which caught up with the formation deputy commander Dylan, and the other was the exchange of attacks on the enemy, which caught up with the first deputy commander freemani.

The life of the deputy commander has repeatedly become a sacrifice in the process of the formation fighting for the first hand. This is certainly not the responsibility of a person or an order. The whole secret service formation should be ashamed and introspective.

In order to give proper punishment to the secret service formation, Pierce was given an extra substantial job.

Leave Hong Kong on November 8 and arrive in Barbados within 10 days to escort a 40 ship caravan to Europe. This trip takes about 33 days.

They will arrive in Southampton around December 20, then spend a tight Christmas holiday there and escort another large caravan to Cape Town on January 4.

Waiting for them in Cape Town is the third escort mission, from Cape Town to Havana on March 13.

The ghost trip will last six months, including a maximum rest of 2 days in Barbados, about 14 days in Southampton and less than 5 days in Havana.

Full of malice is about to overflow

Pierce didn't know whether the malice came from Lorraine's dissatisfaction with his laziness these days, or Katrina's dissatisfaction with him fighting and crying fafuna. Anyway, in short, it was dissatisfaction.

Dylan floated to pierce.

"Lieutenant, the Seamen's Union has just submitted a protest, saying that they spent Christmas on board last year, and today's Christmas should be compensated."

Pierce tore his flat face from the deck: "how do they compensate?"

"Before they set sail, they contacted 14 trade unions in Miami and learned that the average Christmas holiday of the chamber of Commerce in Miami this year is 22 days. They asked for an increase of 50% to 33 days. If work must be arranged during the holiday, they need to pay double compensation on the basis of salary, that is, three salaries."

"Knowing that we only have 14 days off in Southampton, ask for 33 days off and three salaries?"

"That's almost what it means."

Pierce hissed and got up from the deck: "who is the initiator of this protest?"

"The future's boatswain, nuren Gary Fran, is the initiator. Below is a 15 person proposal promotion team, two of which are ladies' sailors."

"How many of these 16 are about?"

"Four. Nuren gallifran is one of them."

Pierce gave a soft Bang: "you know, Dad, brother... The captain originally wanted to promote the establishment of the Federation of trade unions this year, so he induced those trade unions to prepare a lot of plans."

"Who knows that the planned strike has not yet begun, but the matter of Miami has suddenly been put on the agenda."

"Sister Carmen was so busy that she didn't touch the ground at once, but she couldn't stop the trade union movement that had been prepared for several months, so the first strike began a few days before the actual combat drill last month."

"Do you know how sister Carmen persuaded them to stop?"

Old Dylan blinked: "fire one or two, and then taste some sweetness for the strike Union?"

"Totally wrong," pierce shrugged. "Sister Carmen spent 15 minutes meeting the strike representatives and agreed to their proposal without even hearing the statement. Then she fired all the union representatives of the three unions involved in the strike."

"All?"

"Yes, no matter whether they participated in the strike or not, as long as they were registered representatives, they were dismissed in accordance with the regulations, liquidated damages were paid within 24 hours, and they left."

"She didn't even bother to find a reason. She directly said that they had interfered with the major affairs of the chamber of Commerce and failed to fulfill the responsibility of China Unicom."

Dylan opened his mouth silently: "is this to let the remaining unions wait years?"

"To be exact, it's to play the game of strike after the asset management company removes the primary war preparedness. Before that, sister Carmen won't accompany."

"Er... Are you going to tell me this?"

"We'll arrive in Barbados tonight," Pierce said. "Tell them I fully accept the Union's initiative, and then immediately drive the 16 smart fools off the ship. We'll give as much compensation as we should, and never wait until sunrise tomorrow."

"Why?"

"Reason... Tell them I'm unhappy and can't coax well!"

Pierce shook his sleeve angrily.

"What I said is absolutely right. The atmosphere of the secret service formation is too loose and extremely lack of self-motivated and centripetal force. If we don't treat it again, we will become a disgrace to the direct fleet..."

"These people are the first knife!"
